Can anyone advise whether this is a 50s or 60s Van Raalte bedjacket? The label says Van Raalte All Nylon Made in USA and the line is Petalskin. Also, what would be a reasonable price for it on etsy? Thank you!

Looks about 1960 ish to me. I don't think folks here like to discuss price.

Very pretty! I'm getting a 60s feel, too. Here is our label resource for Van Raalte:

I would check the asking prices for Van Raalte on Etsy and see how the bed jackets compare to yours. That might give you a starting point.

Many thanks to you both for your help. I tracked down a Van Raalte collector- she looked at the tag and said pre-1962.

My mom told me that the bed jackets like that were very popular new mother gifts when she and her friends were having babies. They could receive guests, nurse and cover up, AND look pretty. That was late 50s...and 1960 for me!
